Moyu DianMa cube

This cube is a non-starter for me, I'm afraid. Many of my PLLs are <RUD> and the narrow slices on this cube mean that there's not enough room for my thumb to grip FL without obstructing the U and D moves. My thumb has to be positioned exactly right and even then the U and D faces scrape against it, disrupting the flow of the algs.

Actually I might prefer a cube with slices wider than outer faces - does such a cube exist?
 
I just got mine in from thecubicle.us. After lubing and reassembling with uneven tensions, it cut 45 degrees on every side. So I figured I would try to tension it to corner cut as far as possible, which turned out to be about where the corner was at the edge of the center piece when looking at it straight on. Not bad at all, but keep in mind that the center piece is not as wide as on most cubes.

This cube feels interesting. I think it has something to do with the mass being concentrated in the corner pieces, or maybe it is just the size, not sure. My fingers are not skinny, and I don't have a problem with the thinner edge pieces. That being said, it is still something to get used to.

I like this cube a lot. Definitely worth buying, especially for the price. Although I have only had this cube for a couple of hours, since someone asked before, I would recommend ZanChi and WeiLong before buying this cube. But definitely get DianMa too.

Come on Mark, it is a cheap cube. You should try it :) I had a 23.xx ao100 on it. A few 16.xx singles. It is a great cube. I still prefer my Weilong v2 as my main though..

Yeah I have one - the above is my review :). It's not a bad cube - it just doesn't suit my style. My <RUD> PLLs are a mess on it.
 
Got mine a few days ago, and loosened it a little. Did an average of 5: 15.26, 21,41, 19.24, 19.34, 13.45 Avg: 17.95

Anyway, it feels really weird and different from other cubes. The thin slices don't bother me since I don't really do R U D that well anyway.

Overall I like this cube but I am afraid to lubricate it because I seem to ruin every cube I lube.
 
I got one of these and while trying to corner cut one of the corner stocks broke.
 
Can't be. All the cubes are hand assembled. ( I think )
